c blinder – where’s the love portland lyrics
story starts off with a baby named gina
born to two parents in the heart of albina
til interstate 5 came to cut the scene up
thousand homes blown to smithereens? yup!
so gina got grown on alberta
where kids caught fades for flippin birds up
she met this dude in 11th grade
had three kids by ‘88
white kids moved next door in ‘92 with cash
stacks till infinity, trust fund stash
got two degrees, handlebar mustache
and a kid named william in violin cl-ss
by ‘95 the block’s whiter than rice
they conned the lease up
jacked the price
so gina and her man moved again
out to gresham schools overran
she got one in the oven, backpacks on three
gentrification put her on the flee
where’s love rose city
where’s the love bridge city
where’s the love portland
where’s the love
community effacement, racial debas-m-nt
keep portland weird? that’s an understatement
once the ball gets rollin, the movement don’t stop
like a beat that’s goin with base bout to drop
displacement placing plagues on the poor pariah
stability’s our number one desire
so f-ck j. cole, life can be better than yourz
this sh-t run back to 1844
oregon territory shut its doors
and set up laws keepin’ black people poor
where’s the love rose city
you still wrong
slavery might be over
but jim crow strong
got so many red lines
this sh-t look like tron
so proud of your bridges
but the people waiting so long?
where’s love rose city
where’s the love bridge city
where’s the love portland
where’s the love
